Second vehicle was unoccupied
A 21-year-old Vancouver motorist was injured Thanksgiving evening when her Jeep Cherokee collided with a Toyota 4Runner whose driver had stopped to assist a stalled vehicle.
Jessica L. Krieger was taken to Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center after she complained of an injured right arm. She has since been released, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
The accident occurred at 9:16 p.m. on state Highway 503 at Gabriel Road, about five miles north of Battle Ground.
According to a Washington State Patrol bulletin, Krieger was southbound approaching Gabriel Road when she came across an unoccupied 4Runner parked facing north. The driver of the 4Runner was attempting to help a disabled vehicle that was facing southbound and blocking part of the road.
